Did the actor show his affection today?
It is now July, the hottest time of the year. Waves of heat hit us, as if to blow the surface heat into our bones. The tired birds returning to their nests squinted their eyes lazily, intoxicated by the branches where the sunlight was pouring in.
Gu Qingzhou, the lead actress, had to wear heavy costumes because the filming took place in the cold winter. She rolled up her trouser legs to her knees, and her pair of white and tender legs were exposed to the air without any concealment, like perfect porcelain.
She leaned lazily on the recliner, her eyes half-closed, and stared at the script for a long time, but didn't read a single word.
"Sister Wanning, the ice cream you asked for is here!" Xia Wanning's assistant was a sunny and energetic boy. At this moment, his face was covered with sweat. He ran over breathlessly with a big bag of ice cream in his hands.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Xia Wanning suddenly became interested. She threw the script in her hand aside and sat up.
At the same time, Su Jingxing happened to pass by. He glanced at them lightly and said quietly, "Eat less. Be careful of stomachache."
Xia Wanning shrugged nonchalantly, picked up a box of lemon-flavored ice cream and handed it to Su Jingxing, "Teacher Su, do you want to try it too? It's delicious!"
Su Jingxing looked at Gu Qingzhou's face, which was infinitely enlarged in front of him. His Adam's apple rolled slightly, "Stop it."
Gu Qingzhou took in Su Jingxing's little expression. She took advantage of the situation and hugged Su Jingxing's arm. The ice cream touched his wrist. The coolness on the box, which had not yet dissipated, rushed straight to his forehead through his pores, and the hot feeling in his body instantly faded away.
An ambiguous atmosphere seemed to be shrouding them, but the next second, it was abruptly stopped by the words of a 100,000-volt light bulb, "Acting staff, take your positions. The first scene is about to begin."
Gu Qingzhou thought of the script he hadn't read yet, and suddenly he shuddered, "0609, is there a buff that can instantly improve my acting skills?"
0609 said proudly, "Of course, artificial intelligence can do anything!"
"How much love value is required?"
0609: You need a love value of 20!
Just as she was hesitating, Director Cheng's urging voice came again. Gu Qingzhou gritted her teeth and said, "Change."
0609: Congratulations to the host, you have successfully redeemed the skill "I am the Movie Queen, I am the Movie Queen". The remaining love value is 0.

"First game, first time, let's begin."

A mournful sound of piano passed by Su Jingxing's ears. He followed the sound and saw a woman sitting in a pavilion. She lowered her eyes, and her slender white fingers brushed across the strings of the piano, playing out broken and mournful notes.
"Wouldn't it be boring for the girl to play the piano alone? Why not, I play a song with the girl, which will be worthy of this beautiful weather." Su Jingxing walked in front of Gu Qingzhou, casually turning a white jade flute between his fingers.
The woman's fingers paused slightly, she raised her eyes, and her gaze gently swept over Su Jingxing's body. She pursed her lips and said nothing.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement!" Su Jingxing sat down beside the woman nonchalantly and started playing the flute.
The flute sounded melodious, and snowflakes fell on Su Jingxing's body, making his temperament look indifferent, like a banished immortal who was not affected by the mundane world.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and all worries melted away in this snowy night...
"Your Majesty, why are you here? It's so hard for me to find you."
The sound of the flute was interrupted by the voice. Su Jingxing put down the jade flute in his hand and bowed to Gu Qingzhou. "I don't know if it's the Queen. I'm sorry for offending you just now. Please don't take it to heart."
"It's okay." Gu Qingzhou turned his head and said, "Fei Cui, let's go back..."
Gu Qingzhou didn't play with him in the end, but the cheerful flute music passed through her heart, inadvertently touching the softest part of her heart, causing ripples...
//
"Ka, that's really great." Director Cheng patted Gu Qingzhou on the shoulder and praised him generously. "When Jingxing recommended you to me before, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle this role. Now I think he has good vision."
At this moment, the person being mentioned walked inconspicuously between Gu Qingzhou and Director Cheng, and took Director Cheng's hand off her shoulder, saying, "Director Cheng, thank you for your compliment."
"Enough talk, strike while the iron is hot, everyone prepare for the second scene."
"First time of the second game, start."
//
"Oh~ Who was I at that time? It turned out to be the Empress!" A heavily made-up woman looked down at Gu Qingzhou who was knocked to the ground by her with a domineering look.
Feicui quickly helped Gu Qingzhou up and shouted, "Noble Concubine Jia, don't go too far, Queen..."
Before she could finish her words, Concubine Jia slapped her hard in the face, "I'm talking to the Queen, how can you, a lowly servant, interrupt me!"
Jade covered her swollen cheek with one hand, her eyes widening with anger.
"Noble Concubine Jia is truly overbearing..." A teasing voice came from behind them, breaking the deadlock.
Su Jingxing walked to Gu Qingzhou's side and looked at her with concern. "Is the Queen okay?"
Seeing Gu Qingzhou shook her head slightly, Su Jingxing continued, "The Queen is the Queen, how can I allow you to insult her?!"
Concubine Jia raised her eyebrows and said, "Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!"
"I am the crown prince of Qi, Qi You."
"Oh, who did I think it was, so arrogant? Turns out it was a hostage sent by the State of Qi!" Concubine Jia concealed her smile and snorted disdainfully.
Gu Qingzhou, who had been silent the whole time, glanced at Concubine Jia calmly, "Qi You is a distinguished guest invited by His Majesty. Is Concubine Jia saying this to slap His Majesty in the face in public?"
Her voice was quiet but very majestic. She walked step by step to the front of Concubine Jia, raised her hand, and slapped her. "Fei Cui is my maidservant who came with my dowry. You are not allowed to touch her."
Concubine Jia's expression changed several times. She glared at Gu Qingzhou fiercely. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Gu Qingzhou say slowly, "The Queen is the Queen, and the Concubine is the Concubine. You must clearly understand your status and never confuse the difference between high and low."
Gu Qingzhou looked at Concubine Jia's back, and a thousand thoughts came to his mind in an instant.
This seemingly prosperous and unparalleled harem is, to her, a giant cage that traps her expectations and freedom. Unfortunately, this is her fate, the mission she must shoulder as the daughter of the prime minister.
Su Jingxing caught the flash of desolation in Gu Qingzhou's eyes, "To thank the Queen for saving my life, I decided to take you to build a snowman!"
"Building a snowman?"
"Yes! Qi is cold all year round, with heavy snowfall, so people often enjoy playing in the snow."
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Qingzhou to react, Su Jingxing took her hand and ran forward with a smile.
Although Gu Qingzhou and the Emperor were husband and wife in name only, they were not husband and wife in reality. The Emperor was forced to marry her due to the power of her family. After the marriage, in order to prevent Gu Qingzhou from getting pregnant, the family rebelled and he never even touched her.
The feeling of their hands touching each other was an unprecedented one, and Gu Qingzhou subconsciously retracted her hand, but when she looked at Su Jingxing's smiling face, she did not pull her hand back.
Su Jingxing brought Gu Qingzhou to a small corner where no one knew about it. He picked up a broom and swept the snow into one place. "Making a snowman, as the name suggests, means making a snowman into the shape of a human!"
Listening to Su Jingxing's explanation, Gu Qingzhou couldn't help laughing out loud. Her profile was outlined by ice and snow, her eyebrows were curved, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, which melted away her previous aloofness. She looked more beautiful than anyone had ever seen before, and she was beyond words.
The laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, gently knocking on his heart, bringing a tingling sensation.
Su Jingxing froze in place for a moment. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face darkened. He suppressed his emotion well, came behind Gu Qingzhou, put his arms around her shoulders, and whispered in her ear, "I'll teach you how to do it."
Gu Qingzhou's pupils shrank, her body temperature rose slightly, and her mind was filled with thoughts. She followed Su Jingxing's movements and built a small snowman bit by bit.
Su Jingxing released Gu Qingzhou from his arms, pinched his chin, and said thoughtfully, "Hmm... This is too ugly, hahahahaha..."
"No matter how ugly it is, it was you who did it!" Gu Qingzhou put his hands on his hips in dissatisfaction, like a kitten about to scratch someone.
"We did this together!" Su Jingxing said as he pinched a small snowball from the snow and prepared to attack Gu Qingzhou, "Watch out!"
The snowball hit Gu Qingzhou's head, knocking off the gold and silver jewels adorning her hair. Her black and shiny hair scattered, moving with the wind, bringing with it a burst of fresh floral fragrance...
Gu Qingzhou took advantage of Su Jingxing's distraction, rolled a giant snowball, and threw it at him without saying a word.
The sounds of laughter, quarrels, and scolding filled the small corner. At this moment, Gu Qingzhou was no longer the queen, and Qi You was no longer a hostage. They were just two ordinary people, doing the most ordinary things...
"You finally smiled!"
Gu Qingzhou's smile froze on his face. "You do this just to make me happy?"
She already had the answer in her heart, but she still asked, for no other reason than to hear him say it in person.
"Yes! When I first heard your piano playing, I wondered who could possibly play such a sad melody. After meeting you, I became even more curious. You're already the queen, but why is there such loneliness in your eyes..."
"Then why don't you ask me..." Gu Qingzhou looked at him with indescribable emotions.
"Because I know that you will say it naturally when you want to!" There seemed to be a flame burning in Su Jingxing's eyes, bright and warm, melting Gu Qingzhou's heart.
"But I have a question. I really want to know if Her Majesty the Queen can satisfy me for a moment."
"What?" Gu Qingzhou looked at Su Jingxing suspiciously.
"I want to know, what is your name, Queen?"
Gu Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then raised his lips and said, "Lin Duanshu."
"Duan Shu? Can I call you Duan Shu?" Su Jingxing tilted his head and looked at Gu Qingzhou, just like a little puppy.
Gu Qingzhou couldn't help but laugh, "Yeah."
The white snow took away all the worries and sorrows, and the heart was wrapped in love and happiness, creating one dreamy halo after another, emitting sweet colors...

“Crack!”
The day's shooting finally ended. It was already pitch black outside. Silvery-white stars were scattered randomly in the sky. A cool breeze blew by, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.
"To thank Miss Xia for the ice cream, I'd like to treat her to a hot pot dinner. I wonder if she would be willing to do me the favor?"
Su Jingxing was like an elegant gentleman. He bent down slightly and made an "invitation" gesture towards Gu Qingzhou.
"Okay, but we have to split the bill!" A faint smile appeared on Gu Qingzhou's lips. The night sky was reflected in her eyes, as bright and dazzling as the Milky Way.
